Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States was released by the U.S. Global Change Research Program under the Obama administration. The goal of the report is to better inform public and private decision making.

The report found that if emissions are not cut the US can expect increased hurricane intensity, rising sea levels and impacts on energy and transportation infrastructure in costal areas. The Great Lakes could fall by up to two feet by 2100.

There will be a general decline in health because of poor air quality and increase in water borne and insect borne diseases. Increased heat, pests, water stress and weather extremes will pose adaptation challenges for crop and livestock production.
